Westin Maldives offers virtual jogging route, video call backgrounds

In a matter of weeks, the terms, “shelter in place”, “self-isolation”, and “lockdown” have become buzzwords, giving definition to many people’s new reality: staying indoors. And while you may not be able to head to the nearest park, virtual walking or jogging routes can provide a mental escape from the norm.
The Westin Maldives Miriandoo Resort brings to you a virtual walking/jogging route that follows the resort’s trails. The resort is sharing a fresh perspective, so that you can enjoy the views of the Maldives from your exercise bike or at-home treadmill, or allow yourself to be whisked away to paradise whilst cozying up on your couch.
So, go along and stream the video, place the device on your equipment and enjoy this experience.
The Westin Maldives Miriandoo Resort is also offering backdrops to help satisfy the wanderlust in you, giving the opportunity to transform teh background of your devices to bucket-list travel experiences in the Maldives.
So, next time you video call your friends and family, instead of connecting from your make-shift home office or living-room-turned-homeschool-classroom, use these backdrops with outstanding views of The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort.
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has heralded the Westin brand’s wellness positioning in the Maldives and echoes its philosophy “Empowering a Better You” through the brand’s Six Pillars of Well-Being: Feel Well, Work Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well and Play Well.
With a combination of 70 superb overwater and island villas, the resort is an idyllic island paradise in the UNESCO Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve. The resort takes inspiration from the “shape of the water”, the marine life of the atoll and the elements of water, sun, and wind. The resort has been designed to maximise environmental sustainability whilst providing a supremely luxurious and tranquil Maldivian escape.
Along with three unique dining experiences, the resort also features Westin’s signature branded spa concept, the Heavenly Spa by Westin with the latest in beauty treatments. The design of the spa area exudes an intimate and serene ambience that allows guests to reflect on their destination, including a spacious treatment suite for two with a Jacuzzi and panoramic ocean views.
Guests can stay active with the 24-hour WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio sprawled across two levels that features weight machines, free weights, and cardio equipment that faces personal flat-screen televisions; and outdoor pool and recreation ground with tennis, volleyball, basketball options.
Designed to cater to the way modern families travel, the Westin Family Kids Club offers reimagined family experiences that are tied back to the brand’s wellness positioning for young guests between the ages of 4-12 years. Some of the activities includes nature walks, family-style runs and water activities.
Directly from the beach, guests can explore the house reef with colourful corals and be surrounded by thousands of tropical fish. Miriandhoo is a turtle sanctuary, and guests can easily and often see turtles nesting along the white beaches. Reef sharks, lion fish, manta rays and often whale sharks all reside in the Baa atoll. The stunning experience of the underwater world can be explored while snorkelling, diving, fishing and parasailing.
Additional on-site facilities of the resort include a PADI dive centre and a boutique store.
